5.3.1 DISKETTE DRIVE PROGRAMMING
5.3.1.1 Diskette Drive Interface Configuration
The diskette drive controller must be configured for a specific address and also must be enabled
before it can be used. Address selection and enabling of the diskette drive interface are affected
by firmware through the PnP configuration registers of the 87307 I/O controller.
The PnP configuration registers are accessed through I/O registers 15Ch (index) and 15Dh
(data). The diskette drive I/F is initiated by firmware selecting logical device 3 of the 87307. This
is accomplished by the following sequence:
1. Write 07h to I/O register 15Ch.
2. Write 03h to I/O register 15Dh (this selects the diskette drive I/F).
3. Write 30h to I/O register 15Ch.
4. Write 01h to I/O register 15Dh (this activates the interface).
The diskette drive I/F configuration registers are listed in the following table:
